Apple has just released its latest visionOS 2.4 update and with it comes some AI super powers, compliments of Apple Intelligence.
The latest update for the Apple Vision Pro headset can now be installed to take advantage of the very first set of Apple Intelligence tools to reach the augmented reality headset.
Apple says the new AI smarts will mean people can be helped to “communicate, write and express themselves.”
This should also help people find new content and apps more easily while also enhancing privacy in AI. And it lands alongside the new Spatial Gallery app for curated collections of art, culture, nature, sports and more.
The main addition that Apple Intelligence brings to the Vision Pro is a new writing tool. This break down into Rewrite, Proofread and Summarize.
Rewrite allows you to take a chunk of text and have the AI adjust tone – perhaps making it more chatty, professional or concise. You can also describe a specific change and have the AI go and make that happen for you.
Proofread does as you’d expect by checking grammar, sentence structure, word choices and – of course – suggesting edits.
Summarize will let you select a body of text and then have that “recapped” in various formats.
There is also a fourth tool, called Compose, which uses ChatGPT to let you generate content from the systemwide Writing Tools.
System wide language is helpful but you also have area specific options like Smart Reply. This allows you to reply in Messages or Mail with quick responses. Plus you can search your Photos using natural language to find what you want.
Image Playground also arrives on Vision Pro, allowing you to generate images from scratch using descriptions or photos of people you know, to save and share as you need. You can also create Genmoji with the AI to have even more fun ways to interact, using images to express yourself.
Apple points out that, at time of publishing, this is only available to those people with their Siri language set to U.S. English.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
